Missile Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I expect this is a re-post. Not found anything... Just got the normal Max power e-mail. Its got loads of info on it, One bit of info says this, Tommy Banh has recorded the fastest ever standing mile for a street car at this year’s legendary Texas mile. From the pic I'd say that was a mad supra, Massive turbo. 3.7Litre engine. Can't do much due to internet policy here at work. I can forward the e-mail to anyone if interested. http://www.maxpower.co.uk/article.asp?asset=4572 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 But I doubt you'd class Keiths spec in the same 'street class' that Supra is running in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkirby Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 But I doubt you'd class Keiths spec in the same 'street class' that Supra is running in. why not?? from the looks of the supra it looks like it has light weight seats and no other interior and its got a parachute so its hardly a street car? i know keith ran his car in for 2000 miles on the road and its a road legal car dont get me wrong its a mental car, i love it when the turbo kicks in in second and just spins the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Maybe its down to the tyres you can use. I'm pretty sure there are more differences between the two machines than you'd like to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
